Grain Store (Bar Launched Here)

Amazing is all I can say! The loaded fries were phenomenal, and I’m not a beer drinker but the cider was great. You can also play their provided games while at the table. What’s more to love? I would move in if possible, great place

We always make a point of visiting Grainstore every time we’re in Newcastle, and this was our fifth visit — it truly never disappoints. We dined here with family on New Year’s Day and booked ahead, which was a good idea as many tables were also reserved. We always order the steak, and it’s consistently excellent — generous portion sizes, cooked well and absolutely delicious. Service is friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere is lively without feeling overwhelming. One of the standout features, especially when dining with family, is the games available on the tables. Having options like checkers, chess, Scrabble and snakes and ladders is such a great touch for entertaining kids or passing the time while waiting for food. If there was one small suggestion, it would be the option to order via a QR code from the table, as many pubs around Newcastle now offer this. That said, the line at the bar is never too long, so it’s really a minor point. Grainstore has become a staple for us — we genuinely don’t go to Newcastle without eating here. Highly recommended.

The staff were super friendly, food was delicious and I loved the atmosphere. It’s a great place for family as in the middle of the room, there were board games, cards and colouring in. I even saw a couple playing chess while they had a drink. It was a classic pub with extra charm, including tvs around the room where rugby was playing. Lovely place, highly recommend.

A great spot this end of Newcastle for friends or family. Food was reasonably varied and all high quality, and whilst not cheap it felt like decent value for money. Drinks were varied with a bunch of options on tap, and staff were super knowledgable on what was on offer. There was a decent kids menu, as well as highchairs and loads of games. It can get pretty busy, so I’d recommend booking a table.
